ADJUSTABLE CUFF-=HOLDER.'

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 306,417, dated October14, 1884.

Application filed July 9, 1884. (No model.) 7

To all whom it may concern.-

'Be it known that I, RANDOLPH L. Mosnnny, a citizen of the UnitedStates, residing at Concord, State ofNew Hampshire, have invented a newand useful Improvement in an. Adjustable Shirt-Sleeve and Cuff Holder,of which the following is a specification.

My invention relates to improvements in a shirt-sleeve and cuff holder,and is composed of an elastic strap with a spring-clasp, hook, andbutton, by means of which the cuff is not only fastened to the shirt,but is firmly held in position, and can readily be adjusted to anydesired distance from thehand when upon the wearers arm, and at theSametime readily and quickly attached and detached from its positionupon the arm. I attain this by the following device.

Figure l of the drawings represents the adjustable shirt-sleeve and cuffholder detached.

Fig. 2 represents the device attached to the shirt-sleeve and cuff.

To one end of an elastic strap, A, is attached a spring clasp or clutch,D, which is designed to grasp the cloth of the shirt-sleeve. At theother end of the elastic band A is a hook, B, curved back and in uponitself, leaving space sufficient to admit the passage of the sleeveband0 a, but close enough to press upon the cloth. At a convenient pointnear the junction of the hook B and the elastic strap A is fixed abut-ton, 0, upon which the cuff is but toned.

The manner of-using the device is as follows: The cuff b b is buttonedto the strap A by passing the button 0 through the buttonholes of thecuff. The cuff is then drawn over the hand, bringing the hook B to aposition to grasp the band of the shirt-sleeve. The strap A is thenattached to the shirt-sleeve by means of the spring clasp or clutch D.The hook B, pressing upon the sides of the sleeve-band, causes the strapand cuff to remain in position, while the relative position of the cuffto the hand can be readily adjusted, and the shirt sleeve shortened orlengthened, as desired, by raising or lowering the spring clasp orclutch in its grasp upon the shirt-sleeve.

This device allows the cuff to be readily and quickly detached orattached from and to the k shirt-sleeve by allowing the cuff buttoned tot the strap to pass over the hand and lowering or fastening thespring-clasp to the shirt-sleeve, as desired.

Having thus described my invention, what I desire to claiman d to secureby Letters Patent is A n adjustable cuffholder consisting of thecombination, with an elastic band, of a springclasp secured to one endof the band, a hook secured at the other end of the band, and abuttonsecured upon the band adjacent to said hook, substantially as setforth.

RANDOLPH L. MOSELEY.
